On access, I have a navigation form (Stage) with a dropdown list (Modifiable84). How can I collect the value of these controls in each tabs (tabX, tabY ...) of my navigation form?
I've tried in a variable: X_var = Modifiable84.Value but I've got an error.
If you want to refer to a control on a specific subform, you need to use the subform name. E.g. X_var = Form1.Form.Modifiable84.Value where Form1 is the subform control name, not the form name.
Note that if you're using a navigation control, the form needs to be loaded.

I have a form with a subform (Datasheet view form). When i click a row in subform, i want pass that row value to text box in main form . In subform even wrote this
Private Sub Form_Click()
MsgBox (Noloan)
End Sub
But i don't know how to pass that subform form_click no_loan to mainform.textbox. Thanks for your help.
Additional data:In my db , i have a table which consist field No,NoLoan,Name. NoLoan Field value as i wanna clicked .From that table i create a subform/datasheet view ,subform name is T_Loan1. Then I create Main Form, name is FindLoan2. In that main/parent form i create text box, called Text7, and put T_Loan1 in subform object at footer.
I put this
=[Forms]![FindLoan2]![subformTLOAN].[Form]![Noloan]
in my Text7 Control and It's work.
Thank's for all attention.
Goto to the subform and click on the field which has the row value
Select Field property - click on events tab --> On Click --> Code Builder
Put below code in the Click event where Form_frmMain is your form name and Me.ID is the field.
Private Sub ID_Click()
Forms!FindLoan2.Text7 = Me.ID
End Sub
The best way is to write code that ignores the forms!names. If you copy the form, or change the sub form, or even drop the sub form into a different form, then all your code breaks.
To reference the textbox in the parent form from code, use:
me.Parent!Text7 = me!id
I am not sure which version of MS Access you are using, but it is also possible to use Tempvars to store values for use elsewhere if you have a complicated application which makes referencing another form/field/control difficult.
To create:
Tempvars.Add "TempVarName", TempvarValue
To use:
Tempvars!TempVarName
To remove:
Tempvars.Remove "TempVarName
I try to limit my use of them, as it becomes hard to manage. I am always careful about when I set the values and I ensure that they are removed after I am finished with them to avoid confusion or issues with values persisting when they shouldn't.
I'm quite new to VBA and I've been looking around but cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.
I have made a navigation form (frmNavigation) with 3 buttons, each referring to a different form, let's call them frm1, frm2 and frm3. In the navigationform the control buttons to switch between tabs are all named differently (btn1, btn2, btn3), but the subform that shows either frm1, frm2, or frm3 has the same name: “NavigationSubform” (this shows a different form depending on which tab is clicked on, based on the 'navagation target name' referring to frm1, frm2 and frm3).
When I want to refer to a textbox (txtBox1) on form 1 (first tab) and insert a value i can do this by:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox1.Value = "insert awesome text"
But how would I refer to txtbox10 on the second tab (frm2)? Just using the following does not work:
Forms!frmNavigation!NavigationSubform.Form!txtBox10.Value
You then get the error 2465 (can't find the field).
I’ve been trying many different things, but can’t seem to get it right. So how do I refer to a textbox on a different tab than the first one?
Help us much appreciated!
Only one subform can be loaded at once. So you've just got to break this process into two steps.
Store the value from txtBox1 somewhere outside of the NavigationSubforms (a textbox on the parent form with visible = no, a global variable or a table works).
In frm2's On Load event, set txtbox10 to be the value you stored.
Just note, that you will need to add conditions in the On Load event if you want to avoid that textbox being set to an empty string or a wrong value if you have a setup where your filter is changing.
I have a form in Access with a textbox and a combobox, and need to filter the combobox dropdown options using the value in the textbox. The textbox contains a Category for the choices.
I've done this using
SELECT Options.Choice
FROM Options
WHERE (((Options.Category)=[forms]![FormName]![Text10].Value));
Is there a way to refer to the value in Text10 without explicitly referring to FormName?
I'll need to duplicate this form within the same Access file and changing all combobox row sources for a new form is not feasible. I can't hard code the Category value for each combobox because there are many comboboxes per form, and the value in the textbox will be different on every form. Any help is appreciated.
You can refer to whatever form you're currently on in Access using Screen.ActiveForm. So in your case you'd have:
SELECT Options.Choice
FROM Options
WHERE (((Options.Category)=[Screen].[ActiveForm]![Text10].Value));
As long as the field name stays constant this should work.
I realise this question has been asked before and I have tried numerous suggestions, but I guess I am just too much of a novice when it comes to VBA coding.
Here is my scenario:
I have an Access 2007 "Application" with a few forms. On the main form, I have 2 text boxes. For simplicity let's call them textbox1 and textbox2.
textbox1 is used to enter a style code. a button on the main form then opens another in modal/dialog mode and runs a query with the style code as the where clasue. the modal popup gives me a list box which is populated from the database based on the query that was passed. I then need to select one of the products in the list and upon closing the popup, populate textbox2 with the brand (column2 in the list from the popup) number.
Please remember that I am a novice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would put a button on the second form, and in the _Click() function, put something like this
If ListBox1.ListIndex = -1 Then
MsgBox "Nothing Selected!"
Exit Sub
End If
UserForm1.TextBox1.Text = ListBox1.List(ListBox1.ListIndex)
Unload Me
Where ListBox1 is the list box containing the content you need the user to select from, where UserForm1 is the name of the calling form, and TextBox1 is the name.
Explanation
The ListIndex property of the list box returns the index of the selected list item. If nothing is selected, it returns a -1.
To reference an item on one from from another, you reference the form, the object and the property.
In The example I gave, the form is UserForm1, the object is TextBox1 and the Property is Text. While typing, intellisense should auto complete the object and properties once you type the period.
So I have a form, with a subform control that acts as a navigation scheme for my Main Form. Within the sub form, there is a sub form2 that actually contains the controls for data entry.
So the Main Form is almost just like a design shell around the sub2 within sub1 structure. So in subform1 there is 10 clickable buttons that open 10 different forms in the subform2 window. The subform2 contains the controls.....so here is my issue/question:
So if I have a click event on the subform2 where i am trying to open the next form (subform2 form) within the subform1 child control, which is within the Main Form, what is the vb syntax for handling this?
I am not sure if i am asking this correctly.
I tried:
Forms!SubForm1.MyChild.sourceobject = "NextSubForm2"
but this only works if the Main Form is not open....like if I only had the SubForm1 open.
One more thing, this is code behind the form of the SubForm2 (2 being the sub within the sub within the form).
The main form from a subform's point of view is:
Me.Parent
You can build on this:
Me.Parent.Subform1ControlName.Form.AControl
See also: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm
So:
Me.Parent.Subform1ControlName.SourceObject = "SomeForm"
